Last month we held a wonderful charity auction, selling the creations of some our members. Our wonderful friends stumped up around $500 between them for the Angel Faces charity. Below is the lovely thank you letter we received from Angel Faces -

We were so thrilled with your generosity that we are throwing a celebration in your honour - You are invited to a blog party with a difference. Why yes, of course there will be tea and cake (what's a party without either of those after all?). There may even be lashings of ginger beer and perhaps something with a touch of sparkle too... Who knows what the party will bring?

One thing we do know however is that you'll be taking away quite a goodie bag. Yes my little chickadees every visitor, every player and every participant will be given some wonderful gifts - for this is a special sharing party. No posh frocks required, for you will be getting most messy, seriously sticky and terribly tangled. Just bring yourself and your gift... your lesson.... your tip.... your tutorial.....

We thought it would be terribly good fun to roll our sleeves up and learn something new. We'd love you all to share a lesson with us - perhaps you might have a photoshop trick you can explain? Maybe you know how to transfer images successfully? How do you glue paper without leaving bubbles? Do you have a receipe that no longer needs to remain a secret? Can you tell us how to make clay beads without cracks? To bleach a photograph or make something furry and felty? You may even just like to list your favourite tutorial sites. Anything goes, just bring your special gift to the party by way of a link to your own blog post and take away a goodie bag of lessons to try out for yourself.

All you need to do is pop along to our party room here at the Avenue on the weekend of May 1st & 2nd. Leave a comment with a link to your post and visit all our other party guests.

It's going to be so much fun! If you can make it, please leave your RSVP as a comment to this post and we'll post a list of all the party-goers (as well as make sure we enough cake and fizz for all).

PS: Do spread the word as we've booked an enormous room in the Bloglandia creative studios so there's room for all. You may like to grab out badge and link back to this post.

What a wonderful party theme and I just adore the images you've added too!

I'll tell you my heart sang and my eyes teared when I read that letter from Angel Faces. To see my dream of a beautiful team touching the world in so many ways... well, it's just amazing to see it all come true and it wouldn't have been possible without all of you!!
